Video: Was Union’s goal cancelled?

Controversy at the 15 de Abril Stadium. At the start of the eighth day of the Professional League, Unión hosted Racing and the game had a lot of action in the first half. The Academy began winning with a goal from Maximiliano Romero at 24 minutes, but five minutes later Mauro Luna Diale equalized. However, the VAR disallowed the goal. Was this correct?

29 minutes into the first half, a great pass left Mauro Luna Diale one on one with Gabriel Arias. The Tatengue striker left the goalkeeper on the way and defined very well, but Jonathan Galván arrived just enough and cleared over the line. Despite this, the referee Nicolás Ramírez considered it valid.

The VAR call was not long in coming. Those in charge of managing the technology, Leandro Rey Hilfer and Pablo González, They told Nicolás Ramírez from the booth that the ball had not entered in its entirety and the referee reversed his decision.

For the worse, Gustavo Munúa’s team was left with one less at 37 minutes into the first half. And the expelled was the author of the false goal. Mauro Luna Diale stepped on Matías Rojas and the referee showed him the yellow card, but they called Nicolás Ramírez to see the play again and he changed his mind. Red for the striker. Yes, in just eight minutes the VAR drowned out his cry and took him off the field.
